My invention relates to attachments for check books for use in tearing off the checks fined for use on checks, butmay be em ployed on receipts or tickets of various kinds, as will be obvlous. It is an. ob ect of my invention to provide an attachment to assist in removing a check,
receipt, or similar paperslip from its stub, said attachment being; capable of ready application to the book, and removal therefrom when desired.
It is also desired that the device be arranged so that when .attached in position it may be easily and quickly adjusted in use and swung out et the way when not in, use so that new checks may be made out without interference; i
The various other objectsand advantages residing in the construction and arrange ment of the parts of my invention will be brought outwith. greaterparticularity in the specification which follows.
Referring to the drawing herewith, Fig. 1 is atop plan view in elevation of my at tachment. Fig. 2 is a side or edge View of the device shown in Fig. 1, the device .to which. it is attached being shown in section. F ig. 3 is a transverse section on the plane 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4.- is a similar section on the plane 4:4 of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a plan View of a check book showing my invention attached thereto and illustrating the manner in which the device may be ad justed for use. Like numerals of reference are employed to designate like parts in all the views. p e
As a protective measure in issuing checks receipts and the like, it is common to provide along the margin of the check or receipt, adjacent to the stub, a series of col umns of numerals indicating; the amount of the check which is issued. By tearing oit,
the check adjacent the correct amount on the column of figures, the denomination of the. check which is issued will be indicated both upon the check and upon the stub. thus H Serial No. 97,837.
described. The device is attached to the cover or base or" the book through means of a clamp, indicatedat .1 in the drawing. Said clamp may be of any desired form, but I. hare indicated a sheet of resilient metal bent between its ends to form two parallel clanming members adapted to fit aboutthe cover or" the check book. This clamping member may have the spaced sides thereof bent inwardly so that when a check book covor or other'similar support is, forced between i the two side plates thereof, it will be gripped so 't-lnit; the device will be held in poplates forming the clamp as being slightly longer thanthe lower one, although this construction is optional. 7
At the bend 2 in the clamping plate, I attzwhe fl a curved arm 3 at each end of the piate. This arm bent upwardly to position on a level slightly above the uppermost of the clamping'plates and is recurved to form a support l f'OI a slide rod 5. The rod is secured firmly within the support thus formed and extends longitudinally of the clampingplate fromoneend thereof to the other. The supporting arm 2 may be formed by cutting away the top plate 1 of the clamping; member along its ends and recurving the same adjacent the closed end 2 so as to form the supporting arm, as is best indicated in Fig. 1.
The rule-or marker, which isto engage with the surface of the check so that it may be properly torn, is shown at 6 in the drawing. it is adapted to be slidable longitudinally upon. a hinged plate 7, one end of which is curved laterally and bent about the rod 5 to form a hinge member 11. The )Ody of the plate is long enough to extend the full width of the check book. It is straight upon the edge 8 adjacent the column of figures upon the book, but on its opposite side it'is recurved, as shown at 9 in Fig. 42, to form a loop to engage with a recurved end 10 of the sliding plate 6, as indicated in Fig. 4. i
. T have shown the upper of the two The said plate 6 has its edge adjacent the I recurved side 9 ofthe plate 7 recurved to lit within the loop, as described, so that it may slide longitudinally thereon. Its opposite edge is cut as of the same width asthe plate 7 for a short space and is then bent downwardly along the line '12. An inner end of this bent portion is cut on an incline 13 to conform to the ruled lines 14 upon the check book. The manner in which the outer edge of the rule is turned downwardly is indicated best at 16 in Fig. 4. It will be noted that the outer edge will contact with the body 01 the check so as to form a cutting edge when the check is torn. The inner edge 18 is also formed for cutting purposes so that the check may be easily torn at the proper point.
It is contemplated that the columns of numerals upon the check or receipt will be arranged on lines inclined as shown at 14 in Fig. 5, but this is not entirely necessary, and it the figures are arranged on horizontal lines, the cutting edge 13 ot the rule will, of course, be made to correspond to the manner in Which the check is formed.
lnthe. use of my device, the attachment maybe secured to the checkbook by simply forcing the clamping member l over the cover or back of the check book, thus allowing the plate 7 to swing on the rod 5 into position across the face of the check book, as shown in Fig. 5. The plate 7 and the sliding rule 6 thereon are preferably formed of sheet metal and are resilient so that they will lie closely against the face of the check. The position of the rule may be adjusted by sliding the same along the rod 5 to the prop- Vcr position and then adjusting the rule 6 longitudinally of the plate 7 so that the cutting edge 13 comes directly beneath the proper numeral to indicate the amount of the check. The rule will then be pressed downwardly against the face of the check and thercheck may be tornoff readily along the cutting edge of the rule 6 and the plate 7. A small handle 15 may be formed upon the upper face of the sliding rule 6, if desired, so as to assist in the movement of the rule longitudinally of the plate 7.
It will be noted that the device is simple and economical to construct and is easily detachable from the check when the checks have been exhausted, so that it may be again placed upon another book for use. It is also an advantage to have the rule mounted so that it may be swung on the hinge 11 away from the check book when subsequent checks are being made out. When it is then desirable to use the rule in tearing oil the check, it may be swung into position and quickly adjusted. The further advantages of this construction will be apparent.
What I claim as new and desire to protect by Letters Patent is:
An attachment of the character described comprising a clamping plate formed of resilient material bent between its end and adapted to detachably clamp a check book on one side thereof only, a slide rod secured at its ends along one side of said plate, a
rule of sheet metal hinged at one end upon said rod, a sliding plate having an edge recurved to engage said rule to allow said sliding plate to be moved longitudinally of said rule, one edge of said sliding plate being formed to engage a check whereby said check may be torn along said edge. I
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature this 22nd day of March A. D.
